That's an issue with how AI is defined though isn't it? A decade ago, no one would have counted Miku as AI. It's just that marketing teams and the media has abused the term that now almost any algorithm can be termed AI even if it never utilizes any mechanism that would be under the umbrella of the academics' definition of AI.
Yeah, everyone has slapped AI on everything and it sucks. What's unfortunate is Krypton's v6 (2022) editions include some AI voicebanks that are apparently mid, they make stuff sound more natural but don't help tuning that much. The singers were properly paid, but outsiders aren't gonna know that and will assume, "oh it's just like all the other techbro nonsense."
Basically anything pre-2022 is fine historically, Krypton literally didn't have AI voice banks anyway and everyone in the fandom already knew you had to put effort into making a song with a Vocaloid, as they're literally synths. But now more and more people are discovering the fandom without knowing the history, and if the first thing they see is "Look, we have AI now!", not realizing that it's only for naturalization/minor tuning and not "make me a song", they'll just throw it in the same pile.
